Building Technologies : simple and secure danger management.
Integration increases security! The increasing danger potential for people and assets makes the need for better protection increasingly more relevant. In many buildings, supplementary systems have been installed for security, communication and control purposes and this will continue to be the case in the future. The more diverse and complex the risks get, the less appropriate isolated technical installations become. Integral security, however, is a great deal more than just the sum of the individual surveillance functions. Individual solutions lead to higher operational and administrative costs. A much more important factor, however, is that in an emergency situation it will be more difficult to maintain the necessary composure and the probability of human errors will increase. As a result, the original intention of increasing the security standard may have exactly the opposite effect. In order to prevent this, integration of the different systems into a Danger Management System is essential. 2
: Danger Management Station for security professionals! is the «Safe & Easy Danger Management Station» designed by Siemens to provide centralized protection of people and assets. meets today's necessity to integrate a wide range of local fire installations, local security installations and multi-disciplinary combinations. Centralized surveillance and operation of the complete system, reduces operating and maintenance costs. At the same time, safety and security are increased thanks to the ergonomic graphic user interface of the system. displays alarms, messages and the current status of all connected systems in a uniform, clearly organized manner, according to security-relevant priorities. During event handling directs the user through pre-defined procedures by means of action texts, intervention plans, graphics and other utilities. : state-of-the-art in Danger Management Stations combines the most modern technology with excellent user benefits: Fast, effective elimination of the danger Clear, error-free handling even in stressful situations thanks to easy, guided operation Prevention of delays through automated processes Short training period for operating staff Fast and easy configuration Open to third-party systems and function extensions From individual buildings to geographically separated building complexes Cost saving Investment security Built on a modular architecture, the offers you a cost-effective and scalable Danger Management System, which supports both individual and multiple stations. The application spectrum ranges from local configurations to geographically distributed installations. combines different disciplines Fire protection Gas protection Intrusion protection Access control Video surveillance 3
: creates clarity and overview. Overview in every situation In traditional MS Office applications, the user is generally given a versatile menu with freely selectable options. In contrast, the operating concept presents only those options that are applicable to the current situation, letting the user keep a cool head, even in stressful situations. Pre-defined operating procedures provide step-by-step access to the required detailed information. Easy and clear event presentation If an event occurs, the corresponding lamp is activated in the bar at the upper edge of the screen, the accompanying counter is incremented and an acoustic signal sounds. Additionally an entry is made in the event list, which is organized according to security priorities. The event list contains first important information and is the starting point for the event handling procedure. Rapid and guided operation During event handling, the guides the user in the easiest possible way, through a pre-defined sequence of individual, logical steps. This prevents potential dangers from escalating to catastrophes. The supports the user in making decisions and allows him to concentrate on the main steps. Guided and clearly organized operation also means that the only shows the relevant information at the appropriate moment. Command buttons are only available if they can be used. These buttons are coupled with the corresponding step of the handling procedure and are located in direct proximity to the relevant working area. 4
1. The correct action at the right moment Different events require different actions. Therefore, the individual steps can be freely defined specifically adapted to the requirements of the installation and its organization. 2. 3. After selecting, for example, a fire alarm from the event list, the following steps and instructions could be typical: 1. The relevant part of the building plan is displayed to allow the source of the alarm to be located. 2. An instruction page (e.g. web page, PDF file or other MS Office format) presents information about the necessary intervention steps to be taken. 3. The fire department (or other organizations) can be notified manually or via an automatic dial-up connection. 4. The user fills in the relevant fields of a pre-defined event-report. 4. 5
Easy navigation If system overview is required or individual zones must be isolated, then the «Plant Browser» is the right tool. This provides an efficient means of navigation through the site or individual building to locate the required zone. A building, floor, room or an individual object can be quickly located in the tree structure or in the graphic and the required operation can then be performed. The makes it possible to adapt the system layout to individual needs and to show the specific organizational structure. From overview to detail A propagation mechanism also ensures a clear overview, as alarm states are propagated to a higher level and only these objects are displayed in the initial graphic. The unbeatable combination of graphic zoom and automatically revealed objects provides access to the information you require in the fastest possible way. Automatic logging and simple report creation All events and all user operations are logged in a history file. Individually defined reports can be created in seconds using simple database queries. 6
: flexible and adaptable. combines disciplines Both individual as well as different disciplines such as fire protection, intrusion protection, access control, video surveillance, gas protection etc. can be centrally monitored with the. Even if the sub-systems are far apart, they can be easily integrated with LAN/WAN solutions. The direct connection to the reliable and secure Siemens bus and loop networks ensures easy migration from existing systems to.

Single and multiple station applications can not only be adapted to your specific needs, but also to the size of the building. A single user system is the best choice for smaller buildings. Of course, multiple systems can also be networked together. A multiple user system is particularly suitable for decentralized systems. From small to large systems is also the ideal solution for multiple buildings, which may be geographically close or very far apart. The advantages of the stability, scalability and flexibility of the become particularly relevant with LAN/WAN installations and complex networks.
